When to apply: Apply Duet from 5 days before sowing to just
before sowing. Spraying and sowing may be done at the same time
provided the boom is mounted in front of the tractor or combine.
Sowing generally provides the mixing necessary to activate DUET
however, for optimal weed control, full incorporation of DUET within
4 hours of application is recommended.
Soil preparation: Area to be treated should be clear (< 25%
surface area covered) of established weeds, large clods or stones
and plant trash. If > 25% surface area is covered, or significant weed
germination has occurred, requiring a knockdown herbicide, treat as
a direct seeding situation.
Sowing depth: Cereal seed should be sown to a depth of at least
5cm. Deeper sowing of short-strawed wheat varieties may lead to
poor crop establishment. Canola seed should be sown at its normal
sowing depth of 2 to 4cm. When relying entirely on the sowing
operation for incorporation of DUET, use a standard tyned combine
with 10cm points. Cover harrows should be used to leave the soil in
a relatively flat condition.
When to apply: Apply DUET as close as possible to the time of
sowing and no longer than 5 days before sowing.
Seed-bed preparation: Weed growth should be continually
heavily grazed until herbicide application. (Manufacturer's
recommendations for knockdown herbicides must be observed for
use on grazed mature plants). Stock should be removed before
spraying seed bed with the tank mix of DUET and the knockdown
herbicide. After spraying with the DUET/ knockdown herbicide
mixture, it is best to delay direct sowing for at least 1 day (depending
on recommendations on knockdown product label). In some seedbed
conditions, a shallow cultivation may be neccessary either
before or after herbicide spraying to aid penetration of the seeding
combine tynes.
Sowing depth: Cereal seed should be sown to a depth of at least
5cm. Deeper sowing of short-strawed wheat varieties may lead to
poor crop establishment. Canola seed should be sown at its normal
sowing depth of 2 to 4cm. Use a standard tyned combine with 10cm
points for sowing. Cover harrows should be used to leave the soil in
a relatively flat condition.
DO NOT sow at speeds lower than 10 kilometres per hour when using the combine as the only method of
incorporation.
DO NOT use a disc-type seeder.
DO NOT apply to areas with high weed seed burdens as a result of ineffective weed control in the previous
season or directly after pasture.
DO NOT rely exclusively on DUET for grass weed contol. Use as part of a weed resistance management program
involving herbicides with other modes of action (see GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS) and also non-chemical methods
of control.
